about

Ever since I was young, I’ve been writing. Writing my own reality, my own worlds. I would like to show you these worlds through images, and make you a part of it as well.

My (staged) portraiture has a cinematic character, spanning from fine art to editorial to music photography. I have been influenced by Hollywood and pop culture, which is a big part of my imagery. I have always been drawn to TV shows and movies and entertainment, especially stories built around female leads. I bring some of the Hollywood spirit into my art, without losing sight of my Dutch roots. These two very different worlds are combined in my photography. The stories are fictional, but they are honest. My goal is bringing a little bit of Hollywood to the Netherlands, and vice versa.

I’m currently based out of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, working as a photographer/art director/creative producer. I’m traveling to London April 8 – April 12, and Los Angeles April 14 – June 30. Please feel free to reach out, I’d love to connect!
